I recently accepted an interview with a company I wasn’t really interested in, but thought I’d give them a chance. The recruiter said the interviewer would call, but when I didn’t receive a call 5 min into the scheduled time, I tried joining the video link and received an error. The interviewer is now asking me to reschedule, but I’m kind of put off by the whole thing. Any advice for how to phrase an “I’m no longer interested” email to the recruiter?

"Hi Chad,

Thank you for your email. After further consideration, I am no longer interested in pursuing this role. Good luck with your search.

Kind regards,
Tyler"

And then also be prepared for a phone call. It’s probably professional courtesy to spend the 5 mins on the phone as well just reiterating that you don’t feel comfortable taking the role anymore and maybe one reason why. But trying to send one email and done probably will just piss people off

I would say sorry lil bro I'm walkin

Question for those who have been in consulting longer than I am. I joined AP last year and love everything about the firm. WMP reached out to me earlier this year about their opening and I wondered if I should go ahead with the call. As you work and get more experienced, how did you handle these type of reach out all the time? Did you proceed with application/interview/introduction call? Did you say I’m happy where I am? Like I want to keep my option opened and getting paid what I’m worth...
